I thought I would do another live drawing session, help you take your mind off politics for a moment and look at old brushes with me.
Some of the tools I featured today are old friends and new.
I need to apolotize to this brush. I unfortunately put it down and said it was not “a good brush,” just because it’s bristle condition is visibly fuzzy. But I was wrong, it is a sable brush, meaning it’s good quality. It’s just having a bad hair day.
Below is one of my old treasured watercolor brushes. It’s taped together because after repeated dunking in water, the metal top that holds the bristles starts to seperate from the wood holder.
And then I played with these colored pencils, which are water soluable.
I hope you enjoyed this little ten minute interlude in your otherwise busy and maybe stressful day!
Waiting for quiet time to watch you create because I so enjoy watching. But too delighted with your beloved brushes not to comment on how moving I found those old friends of yours. I have a couple that are taped up that I hold dear. I like to think my kids will recognize them - almost as their older siblings
I use brushes to glaze ceramics and I can relate to all of your brush issues. Thank you for posting these.
